Fiesta Moon

June 1, 2005
Arrogant playboy Mark Madison has just received his third DUI, and his older brother, Blaine, will give him only one more chance to shape up or lose his job at their family's engineering firm. Blaine arranges for his little brother to do community service building an orphanage in a Mexican village instead of going to jail. Mark eagerly accepts his sentence but only because he first plans to make a side trip to Acapulco for fun and bikini-clad women. It is a dark-haired beauty named Corinne Diaz, though, who turns Mark's world upside down. The second book in Windsor's "Moonstruck" series (after "Paper Moon") is a spirited, modern inspirational romance full of charm, humor, and a touch of magic (an enchanted pig attaches itself to Mark). The spiritual aspects are never heavy-handed and are woven into the story realistically. There is also plenty of romantic tension and witty dialog, which will please romantic comedy fans and those who enjoy the feisty heroines of Helen Fielding ("Bridget Jones's Diary") or Jennifer Crusie ("Bet Me"). Highly recommended for CF and romance collections. Windsor (www.lindawindsor.com) lives in Maryland.
